On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Fu Huai's fists were clenched so tightly that they made a clattering sound.

Fu Jingrong was extremely patient and totally ignored Fu Huai's impatience.

finally...

Fu Huai called out to the outside of the house as if sighing.

"Kashiwagi."

An honest and simple middle-aged man walked into the study room cautiously from outside.

"Your Majesty."

"Go, bring the things here."

Hearing Fu Huai's order, a trace of disbelief flashed in Baimu's eyes, but in the end he obediently responded and retreated.

Fu Huai fell back into the rosewood armchair and rubbed his brows tiredly.

"If there's anything else you need my cooperation, tell me now."

Fu Jingrong returned to his previous indifferent attitude when he was with Fu Huai.

"Father, you only need to send someone to deliver the things to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. I will take care of the rest."

Fu Huai waved his hand and acquiesced to Fu Jingrong's request.

After leaving the study, Fu Jingrong seemed to have let out a breath of bad air that had been accumulating in his heart for years.

Yi Zhi walked forward silently and followed him like a shadow.

Fu Jingrong glanced at the sky, which was already as dark as ink, and whispered, "Go to the Marquis of Changping Mansion and keep an eye on it. Once my father's people take something, send it back to where it should go."

"Yes."

...

Yuluxuan in the Changping Marquis Mansion was the temporary residence arranged by Su Qishun for Qin Qing.

It was already dark by this time.

The Yulu Pavilion was not as brightly lit as before. Zhao Qingwan stood in front of Qin Qing with her eyes lowered.

"Wan'er, Su Qishun can no longer be trusted. We must find a way out for ourselves."

Zhao Qingwan looked up in disbelief and met Qin Qing's eyes.

Qin Qing had beautiful eyes. In the past, her eyes seemed to have hooks, and her every frown and smile showed her charm.

But now, when she looked at Zhao Qingwan, her eyes were deep and she was completely different from usual.

"The reason why a secret is a secret is because no third person knows it. Now that the bandit leader has been arrested, he is not one of those people who can keep a secret. Therefore, we must make plans for ourselves early. Duke Gu's Mansion is our only choice."

"But..."

When mentioning Gu Xiuyan, Zhao Qingwan muttered unwillingly, "Mr. Gu doesn't even want to see me now, what can I do?"

"You useless thing, he won't see you, but you go and pester him. With your looks, are you afraid that you can't control a mere man?"

As she spoke, she took out a silver token from her sleeve pocket and pushed it in front of Zhao Qingwan.

There are Jiaozi patterns on the front of the token, and a special pattern on the back.

Thanks to Qin Qing's deliberate teaching, Zhao Qingwan recognized that it was the ancient way of writing the word "Gu".

Her eyes widened in surprise...

"Isn't this the token of Duke Gu's Mansion?"

Seeing Zhao Qingwan hesitate, Qin Qing picked up the token and stuffed it into Zhao Qingwan's hand.

Her hands were icy cold, and the moment they touched Zhao Qingwan's hands, the chill went straight into Zhao Qingwan's heart.

"This is our only chance." Qin Qing did not allow Zhao Qingwan to dodge, his eyes full of determination, "The Changping Marquis' Mansion is no longer reliable. Some things should be done as soon as possible to avoid more trouble."

When Qin Qing's hand loosened, Zhao Qingwan discovered that in addition to the token in her hand, there were three other things wrapped in oil paper.

"This is the 'Spring Night' that I finally found. The amount inside is to give you three chances. Use some of it."

In a trance, Zhao Qingwan seemed to see the woman who had dragged her out of the bed while she was sleeping.

Under the dim candlelight, in the dilapidated house filled with the smell of decay.

The woman's face was filled with determination to risk everything. "Rou Rou, remember, from today on, you are not Su Xin Rou, you are Zhao Qing Wan. The future of both of us will be decided tonight."

Facts have proved that Qin Qing made the right choice.

Although there were some twists and turns when she returned to the capital, she successfully became the adopted daughter of Marquis Changping. Even Qin Qing was secretly brought back to Luojing and well taken care of.

Later, under Qin Qing's guidance, she gradually won Su Qishun's favor and even almost married Gu Xiuyan...

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingwan seemed to have made a great decision and nodded vigorously.

"I see."

Both mother and daughter understood that if they couldn't survive, why would they change their living environment?

Qin Qing felt comforted by Zhao Qingwan's awareness of the current situation.

"Rou Rou, you are a smart child. You must not follow your mother's old path unless it is absolutely necessary," Qin Qing smiled bitterly. "My mother was deceived by Su Qishun's sweet words, which led to her making mistakes one after another. I thought entering the Changping Marquis's Mansion was my best choice, but now it seems that I might as well be free outside the mansion."

Ever since the bandit leader was caught, Qin Qing had been in a state of disarray for a while. Zhao Qingwan had already roughly guessed what the relationship between Qin Qingyu and the bandit leader was.

Before the mother and daughter met Su Qishun again, they had to rely on various men for support to survive.

Zhao Qingwan didn’t understand when she was a child, but as she grew older, what else did she not understand?

There are no great men in this world who do anything without asking for anything in return. The mother and daughter were able to receive support from so many men. Zhao Qingwan knew exactly what Qin Qing had done in private.

But now she might still have to rely on Qin Qing, so she dared not show any contempt for him.

I could only hold the silver medal tightly in my hand, as if it were a life-saving straw.

She swore to Qin Qing, "Don't worry, mother. I will never let you down. I will take you out of the cage of Changping Marquis' Mansion."

There was a hint of excitement in his tone.

Zhao Qingwan has always known that Qin Qing has a "Spring Night" on his hands.

"Spring Night" can be used in an incense burner, or it can be dissolved in water and mixed in wine or food. It has a strong medicinal property and its effect can last for more than half a month, making the target unable to stop wanting the user.

If it could be used on Gu Xiuyan, not to mention half a month, even half a day would be enough for her to turn things around.

Qin Qing nodded with satisfaction, his eyes moist.

After Zhao Qingwan left.

Another tall figure walked out from the darkness.

The man was tall and strong. If Su Qishun was present, he would definitely recognize him as Shen Meng, the eldest son of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, who had been entangled with Qin Qing at the thank-you banquet.

He listened to the entire conversation between the mother and daughter.

He stepped forward and put his arms around Qin Qing's slender waist.

"If you want to leave the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, I can help you. Why do you want me to get you a token and take the risk of letting your daughter go to the Duke of Gu's Mansion?"

The man's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

Qin Qing changed her stern look in front of Zhao Qingwan, and softly followed the man's movements and stuck to the man's body.

"But, if you take me with you, I won't be able to take much money with me. In the end, we will still have to support ourselves after we leave. You are a young master from a wealthy family, so you must not know the sufferings of the world..."

At this point, her eyes were dyed with a layer of water color, and when she looked up and looked at the man, her charm was fully revealed, "There is obviously an existing cash cow, why should I let you suffer?"
